Birds from the Island of CozumeL 191 



15. DOLICHONYX ORYZIVORUS. 



Emberiza orizivora, Linn. Syst. Nat. i. p. 311, 

 Dolichonyx orizivora, Baird, Brew. & Ridgw. N. Am. B 



ii. p. 149; Scl. Ibis, 1884, p. 2. 



'' Only observed in the town of San Miguel.''^ 



This is a rare species in Central America ; the only 



specimens that I obtained were shot on one of the cays of 



Lighthouse Reef, due south of Cozumel. 



16. Hadrostomus, sp. ? 

 '' Found in the woods."" 



A female or young male specimen of a species which 

 I do not at present recognize. The bill is much larger than 

 that of H. aglaice of the adjoining coast. Nor does the bird 

 agree with any specimens of ff. niger that I have examined . 



Without a specimen of the adult male the species to 

 which the single example belongs cannot be satisfactorily 

 determined. 



17. Attila, sp. ? 



" Frequents bushes near clearings ; rare." 



A specimen without its head. It probably belongs to A. 

 citreopygius, Bp., but has the flanks and rump of a darker 

 tawny hue than any specimen in our collection. It still 

 seems to fall within the range of variation noticeable in this 

 form of Attila, at least such is my present opinion. But 

 the difl'erence between individuals is so great that it is pos- 

 sible that more than one species may be included imder the 

 name A. citreopygius. 



18. Chlorostilbon caniveti. 



Ornysmya caniveti, Less. Suppl. Ois.-Mouches, pis. 37, 38. 

 Chlorostilbon caniveti^ Gould, Mon. Troch. v. pi. 351. 

 " Common.^' 



A male, in poor condition. The tail has light-coloured 

 tips, as in the Central- American race of this species. 



19. PlCUS SCALARIS. 



Picus scalaris, Wagl. Isis, 1829, p. 511 ; Boucard, P. Z. S. 

 1883, p. 452.
